Biography

Leigh Wood (born 1 August 1988) is British professional boxer who currently resides in Nottingham, England. He currently fights in the Featherweight division. Leigh has lived in the Nottinghamshire borough of Gedling for all his life and regularly travels to Ingles Gym in Sheffield to train.
Wood fought Gavin McDonnell for the British Super Bantamweight title on 22 February 2014 but loss after the fight was stopped in the 6th round due to Wood being stunned and unable to defend himself. Wood put on an impressive performance and was in control of the fight after winning the first 5 rounds, but prior to the fight Wood had to lose weight for himself to make the weight for the fight and after a few rounds Wood was becoming tired. After the loss to McDonnell, Wood had a comeback fight against Martin Mubiru and put in good performance and earned a 3rd round TKO.
Then after 3 more fights and 3 more wins at his natural weight (Featherweight) he stepped up in class to box the man who took his former foe to a draw Josh Wale in a British title eliminator. Leigh outboxed Josh Wale for the majority of the fight finishing with last 2 of the 10 rounds with eye catching combinations and powerful right hands, winning the fight unanimous on all 3 score cards.
Leighs next fight was a redemption fight for the midlands area featherweight title against Lee Glover who beat Leigh in the Amateurs 7 years prior. Leigh came out in the first round pot shoting and making Glover miss before landing some big punches before the bell, shaking glover to his boots. The second round went the same way finally Leigh stopping glover with a big Left and perfectly picked flurry of punches sending glover to the canvas and not making the count.
